Taking a break
Permalink  

It's been a little over two months since my A left. I was on this site every day before then. I am quite serious when I say that MIP helped to restore my sanity. I've dropped in a few times in the last two months. Right now I'm spending all of my energy on taking care of me. I know how important this place and all the people here have been to my own recovery. But right now I have a hard time being here. It brings up too many memories of my now XA. I thank you all for being here when I needed you. And I'll be back in a while to share my ESH and the journey of my own recovery. But I need to take a little time out. Thank you to all of you who have been here when I needed you. I'll see you again in a little while. HUGS to all. pineapple

I have had to cut back on certain meeting groups because I had out-grown the group, as my sponsor put it. But for me, I could never separate myself from recovery altogether because in my experience, it does not matter what form insanity takes, I am still going to be powerless over it. We live in an insane world. I find insanity on the road and in the mall and in my workplace.... Al-anon teaches me that the winds of life are always going to blow and I gotta learn to set my sails.

Our 12-step promises state that we will NOT regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. That is true for me, I believe "it took what it took" for me to fall on my knees in surrender before I could finally meet Higher power. I am eternally grateful.

Take care of yourself, my friend.

Aloha No sister and since you have a place in my heart you are going nowhere that I will not be myself.  You are in my mind also.  You have mentored me on the subjects of courage, determination and strength and commitment.  You have gained by the MIP presence and MIP has gain by yours.  So Mahalo Nui...you are Ohana still (family) and I wish for you all the good and great stuff I wish for myself.  God Bless...keep peaceful, sane and serene.   (((((hugs))))) smile
